Is singing safe? This was a question asked around the world at the start of the pandemic in early 2020. Natalie Watson and Chris Orton tell us about a rapidly-convened research group that led to profound changes in UK Government...

Building low-cost high-fidelity simulation for ENT

3 November 2023 | | ENTA-ENT, ENTA-Head & Neck, ENTA-Laryngology / Swallowing / Voice, ENTA-Otology
In this article, the authors describe their ingenious technique to produce affordable yet realistic simulation models for some common ENT procedures. The use of surgical simulation in otolaryngology training has significantly increased in recent years. This is most likely due...

Random-pattern skin flaps: part 1 – advancement flaps

In the first of a short series covering random pattern skin flaps and their use in clinical practice (see Part 2 here, Part 3 here and Part 4 here), Christopher Thompson and Miles Bannister describe in some detail their techniques...

Privacy and security in connected hearing healthcare

7 January 2021 | | ENTA-Covid-19, ENTA-Audiology - Adult
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced audiology services across the globe to find new ways of working. This has resulted in a rapid increase in the uptake of remote care and, with it, some new privacy and security considerations. Connected hearing...

What has NAIROS taught us about septoplasty?

30 October 2024 | | ENTA-Rhinology / Sinus, ENTA-Rhinoplasty
Septoplasty is a commonly performed procedure worldwide for nasal obstruction associated with a deviated nasal septum. In the UK, with long waiting lists for septoplasty, there is a large and unexplained variation in the incidence of this procedure between individual...

Elasticated retraction in head and neck surgery – a trainee’s perspective

1 May 2017 | | ENTA-ENT, ENTA-Head & Neck
The effectiveness of surgical technique and satisfactory outcome is greatly dependent on good surgical exposure. Retraction requires adequate traction and counter-traction of tissues in order to expose the tissue or organ under scrutiny for the surgeon. This is a universal...

The role of macrolide antibiotics in chronic rhinosinusitis

1 July 2016 | | ENTA-ENT, ENTA-Rhinology / Sinus
The use of long-term antibiotics in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis is a contentious issue, not only because of the increasing problem with antibiotic resistance but also because of the potential cardiac risks, including sudden death. In this article, Anders...

Olfaction in CRS

3 November 2022 | | ENTA-ENT, ENTA-Rhinology / Sinus
Conventional teaching tells us that hyposmia in chronic rhinosinusitis is due to mechanical obstruction of the olfactory cleft. But it might be that the story is slightly more complicated than that. Olfactory dysfunction is a common feature of chronic rhinosinusitis...

Remote hearing aid fittings and maintenance – exploring applications in Africa

1 November 2014 | | ENTA-Audiology - Adult, ENTA-Audiology - Paediatric
Introduction Technology and connectivity are allowing audiological services to be provided in novel ways. The field of telehealth, although firmly established over the past two decades, is buoyed by the continued and rapid advances in information and communication technologies. Remote...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and the vestibular system: a case study

1 November 2015 | | ENTA-Audiology - Paediatric, ENTA-Vestibular Disorders, ENTA-Audiology - Diagnostic
This team of audiologists from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Centre discuss an eight year old with congenital CMV, a neonatal infection which is usually asymptomatic, and provide guidance on how to recognise the signs in the paediatric population, and screen...

A binaural detection task that reveals deficits in listeners having ‘slight’ or ‘hidden’ hearing loss

1 March 2018 | | ENTA-Audiology - Adult, ENTA-Audiology - Diagnostic
The association of degraded binaural processing in adults with clinically defined ‘slight’ or ‘hidden’ high frequency hearing loss is of great interest to clinicians if it can be measured. Leslie R Bernstein and Constantine Trahiotis share their findings in measurements...
